Almost a month ago，he bought a popular word game that used little pieces of wood with different letters on them. As h
50、e was purchasing it，the salesgirl said，“Oh，look，the game box hasnt even been opened yet. That might be worth some money.”Peter examined the box and，sure enough，it was completely covered in factorysealed plastic. And he saw a date of 1973 on the back of the box.“You should put that up for auction(拍卖)
51、 on the Internet，and see what happens，” the salesgirl said.“Yes，youre right. People like something rare，”Peter agreed.“I cant imagine there being very many unopened boxes of this game still around 40 years later.”“Dont forget to tell me if you sell it，” the salesgirl smiled.“No problem，” Peter said.
52、After he got home，Peter went online to several auction websites looking for his game. But he couldnt find it. Then he typed in the name of the word game and hit search. The search result was 543 websites containing information about the changes of the game. Over the years，the game had been produced
53、using letters in different sizes and game boards in different colors. He also found some lists of game fans looking for various versions of the game. Peter emailed some of them，telling them what he had.Two weeks later，Peter went back to the shop.“Hello .Do you still remember the unopened word game？”
54、The salesgirl looked at him for a second，then recognized him and said，“Oh，hi！”“Ive got something for you，” Peter said.“I sold the game and made $1，000.Thank you for your suggestion.” He handed her three $100 bills.“Wow！” the salesgirl cried out.“Thank you. I never expected it.” 【写作指导】通读所给文章可知，本文属于记叙
55、文。首先要点一应表明主人公Peter一个月前买到了一款稀有的文字游戏；要点二要交代在售货员的建议下，Peter将此款文字游戏挂到网上拍卖；要点三讲的是故事的结果：文字游戏卖了1 000美元，Peter拿出300美元给售货员作为答谢。由于本篇短文为记叙文，只需按照故事的情节发展进行写作即可。写作时要把握好要点，全面准确地呈现短文内容，并注意语法结构和词汇的准确性。【参考范文】One month ago，Peter bought a word game and found it was made about 40 years ago and hadnt been opened yet，which means it was rare and valuable.(要点1) He followed the salesgirls suggestion and put it for auction on the Internet.(要点2) The word game was sold at $1，000 and Peter gave the salesgirl $300 in return.(要点3)
